BTI Communications Group, LTD. is a commercial security integrator with offices in Santa Fe Springs, Downers Grove and Phoenix, in business for over 40 years. We install access control for logistics companies and 3PLs: one badge program across sites, client-segregated storage, driver check-in and yard gates, on Brivo, Avigilon, Kantech, RS2 (Acre) or Axis.
Requirements
Recommended setup
Logistics designs are built as a program: one standard repeated at every building.
Standard zone template per site: entries, docks, client areas, cages, driver area, offices and yard.
One credential type across the network, with mobile credentials for managers who move between sites.
A standard reader and controller kit so every site is installed and supported the same way.
Electrified man doors, door monitoring on docks and gate interfaces at each yard.
Carrier and driver check-in with ID capture, and client visitor badges for audits.
Axis or Avigilon video, or Eagle Eye cloud video (part of Brivo), linked to door events at every site.
Staffing agency and HR rosters and alarm arming by site schedule.
3PLs and logistics companies grow by adding buildings and clients. BTI builds a site template: the same zone names, reader kit, schedules and roles at every building, so a new site is a copy of a proven design. Corporate security sees every site on one platform, while local managers handle their own people.
Cloud platforms such as Brivo and Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath) suit fast-growing networks. Owned platforms such as Kantech, RS2 (Acre) and Avigilon Unity suit companies that want to keep the system and its data on their own servers.
When a 3PL dedicates space to one client, that client expects only its account team to enter. BTI creates client zones with their own permissions and produces access reports by client area, which account managers can share during business reviews.
Driver entrances, shipping windows and yard gates are controlled and logged at each site. Agency and seasonal workers are loaded with end dates so badges expire on schedule, and roster sync removes access across the network when someone leaves.
Compliance and audit support
Logistics companies in CTPAT or TAPA programs must show that cargo areas are controlled. BTI configures logs, door alarms and video retention that support those reviews at each site and documents the controls for your security lead. Program membership and certification remain with your company.
Platforms
BTI is platform agnostic and recommends the platform after the survey. HID readers and mobile credentials work across most of them. Not sure which fits? Read the commercial access control guide.

Multi-site logistics programs start with a pilot site, then roll out building by building.
Logistics programs are quoted per site from the template, with a pilot site first. Doors, docks, client zones, gates and the platform's site licensing drive each site's proposal, which BTI itemizes after a free survey.
